UK's Big Brother has banned 2 for 1 sales on junk food and 50% more in a bag of chips and no free refills at restaurants. TV commercials for junk food is banned until after 9 pm. Can't put junk food on end shelves in grocery stores, etc. Oh, but it's for the children! Sounds more like government control. Give an inch and they'll take a mile. You know it'll cross the pond. Will they be issuing ration books for sugar and flour? Will they be limited to one plum pudding at Christmas and no cookies? Lemme guess, soon $tarbucks will only be allowed to serve straight black coffee. Lay's potato chips will have to change their slogan to, "You can only eat just one."

Control the food, control the people.

The rules on food promotion sound like they were written from an overzealous HOA Karen desperately seeking to prop up her self esteem by forcing her neighbors to have the grass clippings picked up within 2.5 minutes of mowing.

More appropriately… “People of the UK, I’d like you to meet my friend George. He’s written a couple books that I think you should read. The first one isn’t really about a farm, and the second isn’t about a VanHalen album.”

You'll be fine with refills with a 100oz mug.

And the next step will be to ban pork and alcohol.
It is normal for Muslim countries.

In the U.K. it is not enough for “food experts” to make knowledgeable recommendations, the government is going to dictate that food sellers cannot sell you combinations of things rated “bad”.

They want A.I. driven drones, not human beings.

Sometimes I buy the multi-packs for trick-or-treaters.

Bring that crap over here and you will have civil war in a lot of areas.
